Congrats to all the Medford Square Patriots who never forgot and won't forget! Do you have pictures to post?

We were somewhat apprehensive out here in the Bay Area that people wanted to 'move on' after the events of 9-11. We went ahead with our plans on a major freeway overpass with overwhelming response. After 5 hours of constant horn blaring I kept hearing 'horns' for many hours after the event! The CHP (CA. Hwy. Patrol) told us not to wave the flags at motorists, but the local Lafayette Police (after asking who the veterans were) told us we could do anything we wanted once the CHP left. We flew approx. 80 flags across El Curtola overpass and blsted patriotic tunes across the bridge. The only downside was we had maybe 50-70 people vs. 250 last year. But we made up for it in passion and everyone thought it very worthwhile. NEVER FORGET.
